22.6 Breakpoints

In RStudio, you can set a breakpoint by clicking to the left of the line number, or pressing Shift + F9. Breakpoints behave similarly to browser() but they are easier to set (one click instead of nine key presses), and you don’t run the risk of accidentally including a browser() statement in your source code. There are two small downsides to breakpoints:

• There are a few unusual situations in which breakpoints will not work. Read breakpoint troubleshooting for more details

• RStudio currently does not support conditional breakpoints.
